27 June 2022
easyJet plc
('easyJet' or the 'Company')
Publication of Circular and Notice of General Meeting
Further to the announcement of the proposed purchase of 56
Airbus A320neo family aircraft and conversion of 18 A320neo family
aircraft to 18 A321neo aircraft and related amendments on 21 June
2022 (the 'Proposed Purchase'), the Board of easyJet announces that
a general meeting of the Company ('GM') will be held on Wednesday
20 July 2022 at 10.00 a.m. at Hangar 89, London Luton Airport,
Luton LU2 9PF.
A circular relating to the Proposed Purchase, including the
Notice of GM (the 'Circular'), has received approval from the
Financial Conduct Authority. A copy of the Circular will be posted
to shareholders (other than those shareholders who have elected to
receive, or who have been deemed to have elected to receive,
notification by electronic communication) and has been published on
the Company's website at:
https://corporate.easyjet.com/investors/shareholder-services/shareholder-meetings/gm-2022
The Proposed Purchase constitutes a Class 1 transaction under
the UK Listing Rules and is conditional upon shareholder approval
being obtained at the GM.
The Board considers that the resolution is in the best interests
of the Company and unanimously recommends shareholders vote for the
resolution.
GM arrangements
The Company is offering facilities for shareholders to attend
and vote at the GM in person or electronically, should they wish to
do so. Further details are set out in Part 2 of the notes to the
Notice of GM and a user guide to the electronic facilities is
available on the website at:
https://corporate.easyjet.com/investors/shareholder-services/shareholder-meetings/gm-2022
The Board strongly encourage shareholders to vote on the
resolution in advance of the GM by completing an online proxy
appointment form appointing the Chairman of the meeting as their
proxy and to register any questions in advance. Further details are
included in the notes to the Notice of GM.
Shareholders are urged to submit their votes by proxy before
10.00 a.m. on Monday 18 July 2022.
Documents
In connection with the above, the following documents are being
posted or have been made available to Shareholders today:
-- the Circular, including a letter from the Chairman explaining
the background and rationale for the GM andthe formal Notice of GM;
and
-- Form of Proxy for the GM.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.1 copies of the documents
listed above have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism

Disenfranchisement
As shareholders will be aware, the Board is ensuring the Company
complies with European ownership and control requirements by
exercising its powers to suspend voting rights of certain UK and
non-EU nationals. For the period of any such suspension, the
relevant shareholders would not be entitled to attend, speak or
vote at shareholder meetings, including the GM, in respect of the
shares subject to the suspension. Further information can be found
on easyJet's website at:
https://corporate.easyjet.com/investors/shareholder-services/eu-share-ownership.
As at 23 June 2022, the level of ownership by EU persons was
40.25%. Accordingly, easyJet has suspended voting rights in respect
of certain shares ('Affected Shares') held by Relevant Persons in
accordance with easyJet's articles of association so that a
majority of the voting rights in easyJet are held by EU
Persons.
We would recommend that all shareholders vote in advance of the
GM, even in respect of any Affected Shares that they may hold. This
is because those shares may be re-enfranchised in advance of the
GM.
Shareholders who own shares whose voting rights will be
suspended (and therefore whose votes will not be counted) at the GM
will receive a notice (an "Affected Share Notice") by post from
Equiniti, our Registrars, on or around 4 July 2022 notifying them
of the suspension of voting rights in respect of their Affected
Shares.
If a shareholder votes more than its eligible holding (for
example, because some of their voting rights are suspended pursuant
to an Affected Share Notice), Equiniti shall use its reasonable
endeavours to contact the relevant shareholder to resolve any
discrepancies, however, to the extent Equiniti is unable to resolve
such discrepancies by 10.00 a.m. on Monday, 18 July 2022, Equiniti
will scale back the relevant shareholder's votes on a pro rata
basis so that such shareholder's votes do not exceed those it is
entitled to vote.
Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in this announcement
have the meanings given to them in the Circular.
